Despite the business world becoming increasingly digital, most homes and offices still require a printer. With a wide range of printers to choose from, there will be a model to suit your budget specifications and budget. Here are some of the different types:
Inkjet
This is the printer type most commonly found in homes due to their economy and comparatively low ink cost. The printing is good quality and so these types are ideal for occasional printing. One drawback is that the ink doesn’t last long and some models may refuse to print if just one ink colour has run out. This means they might not be the best choice for large printing needs.
Laser
These models apply a laser to heat up toner which then embeds onto the page. The toner cartridges are more expensive but will last longer, with the majority of laser printers printing in monochrome, although colour is available. They tend to produce a higher quality print than an inkjet printer and print faster but with that comes an increase in price. For advice on Gloucester Printers, visit bizstationery.co.uk
All-In-One
These models are popular for home and office use as they combine printing, faxing and scanning functions. An all-in-one can be inkjet or laser. They can be used to copy, send and receive documents, as well as print them. With a budget printer, be sure to check the scanning and printing resolutions to guarantee a high quality print.
Supertank
For those who are concerned by the impact of single use ink cartridges or have large printing requirements, a refillable tank printer is an option. They are inkjet all-in-one printers and benefit from a lower cost per print.
